My name is Adam Cronin. I am the Director of Marine at ByrneLooby Consulting Engineers and the Design Team Project Manager for Dublin Ports MP2 Project. I am going to give a short presentation on the MP2 Project, outlining the works proposed and the programme for the development. 2 Existing DPC Site This slide depicts the main Dublin Port estate and shows key reference points for context such as Clontarf, East Link Bridge, Alexandra Basin etc. Vessels arriving to and departing from the various berths in Dublin Port navigate along the River Liffey and exit the port between North Bull Island and the South Wall to the east of the image. MP2 Project Planning Boundary (Aerial Map) The red line shown overlain onto the aerial map of Dublin Port shows the planning boundary for the MP2 Project planning application. All works for which consent is being sought under this application are contained fully within the red line. MP2 Project Planning Boundary (Ordnance Survey Map) The red line shown overlain onto the OS map of Dublin Port shows the planning boundary for the planning application. Proposed Development This plan shows the proposed development for the MP2 Project works. A brief description of the proposed works is as follows: L1: Northern Access Road L2: Eastern Access Road L: Unified Ferry Terminal Yard L: Heritage Installation M1: Berth 2 M2: Berth M: Channel Widening Works M: Jetty Road M: Oil Berth M: Berth 0A M: Dredging of Berth 0A 1 Berth 2 The Berth 2 structure is already permitted under PL2N PA00 (ABR) but not developed. This application seeks to make minor modifications to the previously consented works comprising of: (1) Modifications to the eastern end of Berth (2) Modifications to eastern end of consented Berth 2. () Rotation of the berth by degrees clockwise. Berth 2 will be able to accommodate RoRo vessels up to 20m long. Berth This is a proposed new berth. It is comprised of an open deck structure at the western end and a piled dolphin structure to the east. The berth will accommodate RoRo vessels up to 20m long and the overall structure length is 0m. Other works associated with this berth include; installation of a scour protection mattress to the north of the berth, a propeller wash protection structure, localised dredging and vehicle access ramp/linkspan structure. Photomontages Photomontages of the proposed Berth from the South Wall and Bull Wall show the type of structure proposed, which is predominantly a series of piled dolphins which act as a berthing face for the vessels. The scour protection mattress is located entirely on the seabed. Berth 0A It is proposed to extend the existing berth 0A by 12m, giving a total berth length of approximately 0m. This berth will accommodate larger LoLo vessels. Works required for this berth include: (1) Demolition of the Eastern Breakwater, Head of Oil Berth and the Port Operations building. (2) Extension of quay wall westwards by 12m (Sheet pile anchor wall). () Extension of quayside crane rails. () Localised dredging () Accommodation works to protect ESB underwater cables. 10 Oil Berth It is proposed to remove Oil Berth and consolidate operations to Oil Berth . The berth will be a multi-purpose structure catering for oil vessels but with a future potential as a container vessel berth. Works proposed include; (1) Demolition of Eastern Oil Jetty head. (2) Construction of new sheet pile combi wall. () Infilling of Oil Berth () Localised dredging. This element of the project also involves the construction of a new quay wall along Jetty Road and localised dredging. 2 11 Dredging This slide depicts all of the dredging works proposed under the MP2 Project at Berth , South Channel (For vessel manoeuvring), Berth 0A and Oil Berth . The proposed volumes of material to be dredged are: Berth : 1, cubic metres. Berth 0A: ,0 cubic metres. Oil Berth : ,1 cubic metres. South Channel: 111, cubic metres. Total: 2, cubic metres. 12 Landside Representative (Operational Layout) This slide depicts a representative layout for the proposed MP2 Project Unified Ferry terminal. The area will be flexible as the usage of the port evolves. Key elements of the layout include; Access/egress roads and check in booths. Internal circulation roads, with sign gantries. Staging areas for HGV’s, unaccompanied units and cars. Car park and car/bus set down area. Pedestrian underpass to link car park/bus set down area with existing terminal building. Operational plant areas. Services and utilities including; electrical, foul water & surface water conveyance systems etc. 1 Common Area Between MP2 Project & Internal Roads Project The previously permitted Internal Road Network Project includes a Greenway that follows the northern and eastern boundaries of the MP2 Project site. The MP2 planning boundary overlaps the Internal Road Project boundary, as can be seen shaded green on the slide. It is proposed to install a gate restricting access to the Greenway during the greatest low spring tide events to mitigate visual disturbance of water birds. This gate will be located at the north of the site (See slide). It is also proposed to develop a Heritage Installation at the end of the Greenway to denote the final entrance and exit point to the port. 1 Heritage Installation The proposed Heritage Installation will be comprised of a number of elements including; Marker structure (Original bell & lantern) with a viewing and interpretative deck, Performance space (Utilising granite stone from the removed Eastern Breakwater), Sea Organ & Aeolian Harp 1 Proposed Development The MP2 Project is a large complex civil engineering project with major infrastructural works taking place in the hostile marine environment and busy port area. Before discussing the proposed project programme, it is worth revisiting the proposed plan for the MP2 Project as it is directly linked to the project programme. 1 Programme A permission of 1 years is being sought. This period is required to allow the MP2 Project Works to be carried out taking into account various aspects including; other ongoing port projects, consent assessments (Foreshore, Dumping at Sea, DCC Conditions), detailed design, procurement, port operations, health & safety, consent conditions/restrictions etc. and construction works. Careful phasing of the marine side works in particular is required to prevent disruption to ongoing, growing port operations.

Introduction. Irish Ferries have been invited to provide a written submission to this Committee on the implications of Brexit for ports in Wales and in that context, to respond to two key questions, which are; - What risks and opportunities does Brexit present for Welsh ports? - What steps should be taken, and by whom, to mitigate any risks and secure any benefits? It is important to note that Irish Ferries do not have a public position on this and are unlikely to do so until the outcome is more clearly defined. We have a responsibility to our shareholders and customers, to approach this in a measured way. At this very early stage in the Brexit process, any reports on the likely impact of Brexit in relation to international trade, and in turn its impact on trade through the ports in Wales, will inevitably contain a high degree of speculation. This report has been prepared in direct response to the request from the Committee, but is not intended to be the formal public position of Irish Ferries. Irish Ferries are members of the UK & Irish Chambers of Shipping and together with all of the other UK Ferry Operators, through the UK Chamber of Shipping, we have started the process of engaging with the UK Government Team, on the implications of BREXIT for our industry, to look for solutions, to facilitate and grow trade.
